 1     Join all the glorious names

       Of wisdom, love, and pow'r,

       That mortals ever knew,

       That angels ever bore;

    All are too mean to speak His worth,

    Too mean to set my Savior forth.

 

 2     Great Prophet of my God,

       My tongue would bless Thy name;

       By Thee the joyful news

       Of our salvation came;

    The joyful news of sins forgiv'n,

    Of death annulled, and Thy life giv'n.

 

 3     Jesus, my great High Priest,

       Offered His blood, and died;

       My guilty conscience seeks

       No sacrifice beside:

    His pow'rful blood did me redeem,

    'Tis worthy of my heart's esteem.

 

 4     I love my Shepherd's voice:

       His watchful eye shall keep

       My wand'ring soul among

       The thousands of His sheep:

    He feeds His flock, He calls their names,

    His bosom bears the tender lambs.

 

 5     My Savior and my Lord,

       My Conqu'ror and my King,

       Thy scepter and Thy sword,

       Thy reigning grace I sing:

    Thine is the pow'r; behold I sit

    In willing bonds beneath Thy feet.
